those first numbers, i believe that up on the screen behind me here right now, as you can see, matt mahand over his opponent. very small, 50.0, 3, 8%, to 49.6 to everyone here was very excited when those initial numbers came out. mahan is currently a city council member. he says the first issue he would address if he's elected mayor is dealing with number of people experiencing homelessness. he says it's not only inhumane those experiencing homelessness but also contributes to crime and bring down the quality of life for the people who live in san jose. he's backed by kurt member mayor sam liccardo, like i just said, but he won't be here tonight. he is out of town once again and he we're expecting to hear another update from a hand that will be between 8 45 9. that's also when we expect to see the next numbers out. so we're waiting for that right now and all have an update for you on what he has to say in the next half hour. >> live in san jose amanda hari kron. 4 news. all right. thank you, amanda. they're playing queen. we they must be feeling pretty good there at the mahan headquarters

only about 4600 votes separate matt mahan and cindy chavez, matt mahan, he sits at 51.7 cindy chavez at 48.2, they have been going at it for quite some time. and right now it's going to be a photo finish. here's the reason why. they have thousands of ballots that they still have to count. we were just inside and look at this. they are sitting to the side of the workers because they still have to deal with what's in front of them. so far they've received about 300,000 ballots and they're not even to give a number on how many outstanding ballots are coming in today and over the next several days. so simply too close to call, here's the registrar of voters talking about what lies ahead for them. we have so many ballots that came in yesterday. so many ballots that were. >> they came in the mail vote by mail that people have voted in-person. those are not processed at all that they just got here late last night. >> needless to say, it's more than 4600 votes. definitely definitely. so they have thousands left to go. yes, more than 4600 votes could swing this election one way or the other.

it looks more and more like matt mahan may win because the count has been rather consistent. there's only one time out of all the drops when his lead shrunk. other than that, every time a little bit, a little bit, and you begin to think maybe he's going to continue to gain a little bit. at the moment, he's the favorite, but you never know where that last batch of ballots may come from. so cindy chavez has to keep her hopes up too. >> i presume both candidates aren't going to offer any concession until the final vote is certified or at least announced by the county. >> absolutely. it's too close. maybe in the next drop if there's 5,000 or 6,000 votes at that time left and one candidate is up, sure. but right now, uh-uh. this is the closest race i can remember in quite some time. >> let's get to the city of santa clara now. what if the incumbent, mayor lisa gillmor, loses here. there's some real issues about the optics of this. do the 49ers essentially run city hall is what a lot of people will be asking. >> some people wonder if it's becoming a company town. 49ers gave $3 mill

matt mahan has a slight lead at this time. he's at 51.7 and cindy chavez. she's been in politics since 1996. she is sitting at 48.2. obviously they're still so much to count with only 90% of the precincts reporting in not to mention mail-in ballots that are still coming. a lot of people drop them off yesterday so long as they were postmarked. so it's probably going to be a few days ifanot a week or so before they declare a winner. in the meantime, let's listen to both candidates as what they had to say about this tight race. >> we'll find out the days ahead. i'm trying not expectations either way, but just the fact that we were outspent by nearly 2 million dollars didn't have all the big name elected indoor smits. and yet here we are. i mean, we're we're in a dead heat and we'll see how it plays out. but nonetheless, the campaign that all these hundreds of people behind me ran as something that we're going to always be proud of. and we're going to continue that work forward either. what? >> and honor. and i still feel very positive. for it's not so much jus

it is matt mahan and cindy chavez running to replace mayor sam liccardo. we've got kron four's will tran standing by for us with the what everybody's expecting, which is some sort of final answer here. well. >> it's not going to happen today or probably in the next few days because only a few 1000 votes, separate one candidate from the other, the registrar of voters just open for the day. we see a new shift coming in. watch me. at 8 o'clock. i'll try to get the very latest results. but they still have thousands of ballots, james and that they have to go through not to mention that the precincts, not 100%. billy reported as of last night about 90%. here are the numbers. san jose, you are waking up without a new mayor because it's still a photo finish as far as the numbers. matt mahan sitting at 51.7% of the votes, cindy chavez, and she's been in politics since 1996. she's sitting at 48 point to just simply too close to call and like. >> the race for governor, right? this one is just a nail-biter. here are the 2 candidates talking about the slugfest right do

matt mahan sitting at 51.7, cindy chavez. 48.2. so they have thousands of more votes to their credit. but the distance is the same. we're just lately more for matt mahan that it doesn't even translate. 2 percentage points is about 5,000 votes. more today yesterday. 4600. so with all those precincts already reporting to the registrar of voters. that's not the problem. as far as those 2 candidates are concerned, it's those mail in ballots and they still are receiving them today. and the days ahead they have about a week after the election to receive them so long as they're postmarked. and i cover this story yesterday, they don't even know how many more mail-in ballots just using the term. thousands. so they have days, weeks and get this james and area. they don't have to rush. they know that they have until december 8th to certify the election. this is closely watched not just in san jose guys. i know nationally they're watching this as well. this being the bay area's largest city. both candidates, they poured in 8 and a half million
